Second lady at the duathlon today, with a new 1 mile PB on the run 🎉. I got chased on the last 50m of the run but couldn’t match her pace -huge kudos to the lady who overtook me😅.

I think the effort I’m putting into this speed work is *finally* showing up (hoping I’m not speaking too soon 🤞🏿). Let’s keep the momentum up! Loved to see a real diversity of participants on the course as well 😊

Thanks to the @alohatriltd team for putting on a great event! 🏃🏿‍♀️🚴🏾‍♀️🏃🏿‍♀️

What a weekend it was meeting the teams from the @brooksrunning European camps and trying on the new nitrogen infused shoes for trail, cushioned and speed running!

Ok. That was SO HARD! First time racing at one of these meets.

I’ve previously put off running at this race series because the majority of people’s times here are SO rapid. And sure. Everyone was SO fast. I clung onto dear life throughout🥵💦. The bonus was that running with much faster people motivated me to push through the tough sections.

But oh boy. That was really tough. And weirdly fun! Time for some electrolytes and hot chocolate!!

Congratulations to everyone who took part in @ride

Congratulations to everyone who took part in @ridelondon 🎉 !!! It was such a fun day as a spectator, following a couple of friends as well as my mum doing her first mass participation cycling event.

Some of my personal favourite cheerleading lines that the Ride London cyclists loved:

“My Bumble and Hinge are gonna be popping now 👀 “

“After this…you can re-tyre”

“Why do all the cute ones get away?”

“I’m just here for the bike porn😍”

“Chase those Strava Kudos”

“I lycra your bike”

What’s a funny or cheesy line you’ve heard during a race or sportive before?

Tootled to Victoria Dock for @parkrunuk today before heading out to Chelsea Flower Show, clocking in 22 mins. A lot of fun seeing people dressed up for ComicCon at The Excel centre!

It’s been a while since I last went to Victoria Dock park run. They changed the route from a Horse shoe shape to an up- down during the pandemic. Not yet sure if I prefer this route.

What’s your favourite type of Park Run Route? Out and back? Multi lap?

Second female at the @runnationuk 5km on Sunday 🏆

Gave it some welly in the first mile then cruised at a slower pace for final 2 miles. Was a pretty last minute entry and with legs still tired from last week’s Hurt Locker speed sessions, happy with this.

Fingers crossed this will *finally* be a PB season for me. It’s been a good while since I’ve rung the PB bell

Bangles said it’s just another manic Monday,I say it’s just another medal Monday 💁🏽‍♀️🥇

Well done to everyone who got pbs yesterday. And if you didn’t, I know how you feel (I’ve been there a few times) . Take some time to process your feelings, think about what might have gone wrong and how you can improve next time. And move on.

What are your tips for people who might not have hit their goals?

Pacing duty done in 2hr 14:08 ✅ 🙌🏿

So @rungatwick is a brilliant race! I’ve done a 🚴 sportive near there but it’s been such a long time I was in that area I forgot how nice it is. So many green fields, woods and rapeseed fields.

Turns out pacing is so much fun… and equally hard. My respect for pacers has increased tenfold now. There’s so many times i almost found myself speeding up but had to slow down as my goal was to pace people to 2:15.

As a pacer, you’re also there to motivate the runners, ready to offer advice and help them through tough points on the route… all while also staying relatively consistent with the targeted pace!

Would I do pacing again? Definitely!

Getting ready to lace up and take on an official pacer role at @rungatwick half marathon tomorrow. It’ll be my first time being a pacer so a mixture of excited and nervous for it. Looking forward to helping people achieve their targeted race time!

Have you been a pacer before? Any final tips?
